Parent Feedback

My daughter Aaruhi, who is 6 years old, started her chess classes 6 months ago. We’ve noticed significant improvement in strategic thinking, patience, and concentration.Participating in tournaments has boosted our child’s confidence. She learned how to tackle the opponent moves.We are very happy with the chess classes. Our child looks forward to every session and has developed a genuine interest in the game. Chess classes have greatly improved our child’s focus, patience, and decision-making skills. The coach is supportive and motivating. We highly recommend this program! Our Coach Pooja explains concepts clearly and makes learning engaging and fun. Coach Pooja clears all her doubts and teaches techniques on how to be proactive during the game. Also her continued feedback and encouragement for my child made it easy for parents to push my kid towards chess. I would definitely recommend these chess classes for all kids!! Thank you Pooja and Destiny chess academy!

Aaruhi is really a very good kid who is enthusiastic and grasps the tactics immediately. She has a very good understanding of the tactics taught and solves the puzzles almost correctly with less mistakes. She has started playing the game online and has improved a lot and started implementing the tactics learnt in class which is impressive. Her understanding skills and her focus have been improved a lot though she is very young, she is able to grasp the tactics really well. She is good at calculations and plays carefully with a lot of patience. She is going in the right path and with consistent game practice and playing weekend tournaments, she can do really well and can upskill her strategy for the game. She is very much interested in playing chess and can achieve a lot in chess.
